A DC departure

Wow, that’s a shocker.

Newsarama reports that editor Stephen Wacker has left DC Comics for Marvel. The reason that’s such big news is that Wacker is the chief editor on “52,” DC’s ambitious, year-long weekly series. (Issue No. 21 came out this week.) I’m sure DC will do everything it can to keep “52” on track, but those are going to be some mighty big shoes to fill. And it makes you wonder what Marvel offered or what happened at DC to make Wacker leave at this point.
